Nyctaginaceae
The ANHAT database has 6508 records for 21 species and subspecies of
Nyctaginaceae. No species of Nyctaginaceae are considered extinct.
Two species account for approximately 50% of the total species records in ANHAT (
Table 313). These species have over 1500 records each.

Five species had 30 or fewer individual site records in the ANHAT database (Table
314). Of those species, no species are classified as threatened. There are too few
species and too little information available to confidently determine any patterns in
the categories developed in the analysis of this family. Exclusion of these poorly
recorded species eliminates 59 records.

Removal of data for poorly recorded species leaves 6449 records in ANHAT for 16
species (and subspecies). The mean number of records for species with more than 30
records is 403. These have a mean 25% of their records in the NRS.
Two species of Nyctaginaceae had 45% or greater of individual site records located
within PAs (Table 315). Neither species is classified as threatened. Neither species
had more than 75% of its record sites located within PAs.
